Kelly of Sounding My Barbaric Gulp chose this week's recipe from Dorie's book, Baking: From My Home to Yours (page 13). Oh man. I love these muffins. It is my third time making them! I told you, I love these muffins!

I made them according to the recipe, but added pepitas (pumpkin seeds) on top. Next time, I will probably switch or combine the raisins with dried cranberries as many other TWD bakers did.

I made them once and baked them at the recipe's 400 degrees. However, I felt that was too hot and made them at 350 instead. Other TWD bakers took them out of the 400 degree oven early - so watch the time!

First time visitor to your blog! Love your up close photos. Also, I like the nut combo "crown." Don't you? They really look pretty and I imagine the saltiness of the nut is a nice flavor combo with the soft spiciness of the muffins. I'll have to try that next time. You must be a chockylit reader, with the cups. They make a pretty presentation. Great new name.AmyRuth

I suspect I will be making these again and again too as I am getting rather hooked on eating one each morning. I just removed tomorrow's muffing from the freezer so it will be ready to go in the morning!
